We chose the “Fixed Benchmark” option in the Resident Evil 5 test in order to compare performance between different PC configurations. Note that we used two test systems: a Core i7-920-based system for the majority of the benchmarks and a Core 2 Quad Q6600-based system to demonstrate what a slower CPU architecture, lower clock speeds, and fewer CPU cores could provide in the way of performance.
Once again, we chose to test a range of graphics cards from our “Best Cards For The Money” column. This gives us a nice broad spectrum of cards to scrutinize from a range of budgets.
Our Radeon HD 4870 benchmarks were based on the performance of a reference Radeon HD 4890 that was underclocked down to Radeon HD 4870 clock rates--this will deliver reference Radeon HD 4870 performance, as the Radeon HD 4890 is essentially an overclocked Radeon HD 4870.

You’ll need to take our Resident Evil 5 numbers with a grain of salt if you can’t help comparing ATI to Nvidia. After all, the game doesn’t launch in North America until mid-September, and was only released as a benchmarkable demo by Nvidia to...

Does this imply that game developers in general dint even utilize the full potential of DirectX 9 and jumped on DirextX 10 bandwagon and now to DirextX 11?
i've tried the benchmark before. the dx 10 produce slightly better frame rate than dx9. this game have better performance in dx 10 compared to dx 9 in my machine
Am I going blind or is there no HD4890
or is this just a quick benchmark before the HD5*** series
@yellosnowman: there is a 4890, but it's been downclocked to 4870 levels (read the article) to be used as reference for Radeon performances (tests on Radeon wasn't too extensive, as the benchmark is optimized for Nvidia hardware). And yes, with HD 5xxx almost there, doing complete benchmarks here is pretty much useless: the game is playable with everything at full on a Radeon HD 4770 up to Full HD quality.
Can you test it on Larrabee plz, ty
Gkay09, Direct X 10 was a failure because Vista was a failure. DX 9 has been thoroughly utilized - there has been no other choice.
On the variable benchmark @ 1680 x 1050 2x AA my Phenom II x4 955 and Radeon 4870 pulls and average of 80 fps in directx 9. I'm happy and have the game pre-ordered on Steam
Gkay09, Direct X 10 was a failure because Vista was a failure. DX 9 has been thoroughly utilized - there has been no other choice.
Wasn't it more of because the mainstream DX10 cards (8600GT and 2600XT) didn't really perform well, and even some were beaten by previous generation cards. As such, pushing the detail level higher might mean fewer sales as fewer people had the cards to play the games at decent levels (8800GTS 320MB/640MB or 2900XT).
DX10 isnt really a failure .. if programmer take time to really work on DX10 optimisation .. more on SM4.0. remember Assassins creed? ubisoft take time to work on SM4.0 and the game work better in D10 than 9 ... higher framerate with better shadow
looks like yet another boring shooter mainly targeted at console users.
RE5 = FAIL
anyone got a download link for the demo?
4650 + dual core = medium settings?
good enough for me...
Can you test it on Larrabee plz, ty
Larrabee is like a smart and honest politician both are mythological.
worst review ever.
Worst review ever.
^ worst brain ever?
At least it should be a better port than RE4. When it loaded up it wanted me to hit "Start" to load the game, then the red "A" to play. My keyboard doesnt have a "Start" button or a red "A". Useless without a controller.
Very interesting that Capcom told the site that there is no graphical difference between DX 9 and 10. I'll know which I'll be using with my ATI card.
Nice a game and performance review in one, I like.
kinda funny since the 5xxx and 3xx are just around the corner.
Is it just me or is this kinda hinting at software trying to catch up to hardware (the ever existing cycle).
It looks good on both DX9 and DX10 and the specs are not high.
